Stent strut thickness and restenosis.
To the Editor: Kastrati et al recently reported1 significantly less restenosis with lesions randomized to deployment of one stent design (ACS RX Multi-Link, [ML]) than with a related design (Multi-Link RX Duet, [DT]) from the same manufacturer (Guidant). They attributed the difference in restenosis to the difference in strut thickness. Although the two stent designs do differ significantly in s...
متن کاملIn-stent restenosis in small coronary arteries: impact of strut thickness.
UNLABELLED OBJECTIVES; We sought to evaluate whether strut thickness may impact the restenosis rate after stent implantation in small coronary arteries. BACKGROUND Small vessel size (<3.0 mm) is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of in-stent restenosis. It has been reported that vessel damage induced during stent deployment is an important factor in restenosis. METHODS From our d...
متن کاملIntracoronary stenting and angiographic results: strut thickness effect on restenosis outcome (ISAR-STEREO-2) trial.
OBJECTIVES We tested the hypothesis that thinner-strut stents are associated with a reduced rate of restenosis when comparing two stents with different design. BACKGROUND We have previously shown that, for two stents with similar design, the risk for restenosis is dependent on the strut thickness. It is unknown whether strut thickness preserves its relevance as a determinant of restenosis eve...
متن کاملIntracoronary stenting and angiographic results: strut thickness effect on restenosis outcome (ISAR-STEREO) trial.
BACKGROUND Increased thrombogenicity and smooth muscle cell proliferative response induced by the metal struts compromise the advantages of coronary stenting. The objective of this randomized, multicenter study was to assess whether a reduced strut thickness of coronary stents is associated with improved follow-up angiographic and clinical results. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 651 patients ...
متن کاملStent strut fracture-induced restenosis in a bifurcation lesion treated with the crush stenting technique.
Percutaneous treatment of a bifurcation lesion still shows a significant complication rate, mainly because of restenosis at the ostial site of the side branch vessel. Different techniques, such as V-stenting, culottes-stenting or crush stenting, allow full ostial coverage and may therefore achieve uniform drug distribution within the lesion. The crush technique results in a strong mechanical co...
